Default video recommendations for 9th grade church group

I'm hoping for some serious suggestions. I am helping out chaperoning a church group of 9th graders, during an overnight event. I was asked to pick up some videos. So, I'm looking for movies that have the following qualities:

-not so racy or violent as to be objectionable to the parents
-not so boring as to be objectionable to the kids
-not likely to have been seen by them already countless times

Other than that, subject matter really doesn't matter.

Any quick recommendations?

I just had flash backs-

movies I was forced to watch in a church setting-
The Sound of Music- Never Ending story 1&2-

so- my recommendations

Sandlot, Field of Dreams, any Disney movie out nowadays- The Incredibles Charlotte's Web The Chronicles of Narnia
remake of Herbie stuff like that-
Cinderella Man
Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World
Freedomwriters

If you have to pick out a few I would pick a funny movie- action, and a docudrama(something inspirational)

Thanks to those who have offered - and may yet still offer - serious suggestions.

An overnight stay with a church group is explosively entertaining by itself, and introducing anything of this sort would blow the lid right off and things could go south quick.

Cliff's: it's fun enough already. You don't need to add more fun to church groups, as a general rule.

Good Will Hunting. I think that's my favorite movie when i was around that age. It's quite inspiring, too.
